Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales collects more than two hundred tales
set down by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early decades of the
nineteenth century, among them some of the best-loved and most
famous fairy tales in all literature: "Little Red Riding Hood,"
"Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty,"
"Rapunzel," "Rumpelstiltskin," and "Tom Thumb". Derived from folk
tales that had been part of the oral storytelling tradition for
centuries, these stories are acknowledged as literary landmarks
that transcend their time and culture. This edition also features
ten rarely seen "Children's Legends" and the full-colour artwork of
Arthur Rackham. Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales is one of Barnes &
Noble's Leatherbound classics. Each volume features authoritative
texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed
bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and a
silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these
books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an
indispensable cornerstone for every home library.
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'The wolf thought to himself, "What a tender
young creature! what a nice plump mouthful - she will be better to
eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both."'
Collected by the German Grimm brothers, these folk tales have
captured the imaginations of children and adults alike since they
were first published in 1812. The best-known stories such as The
Golden Goose, Hansel and Gretel, The Frog Prince, and Snow-White
and Rose-Red remain as popular today as when first told, although
there is an underlying darkness and violence to the original
stories that has softened over time.

The Brothers Grimm The Grimm brothers were early 19th century
writers best known for their fairy tales coming from Scandinavian,
Icelandic and Germanic origins. By 1807 there was a growing
interest in German folk tales. The Grim brothers were academics who
invited friends to their home and asked them to relate stories they
had heard. They soon published their first collection of tales and
from there several more volumes followed. Included in this
collection are Hansel and Gretel, Briar Rose, The Fisherman and His
Wife, Rapunzel, The Frog Prince, Little Red Riding Hood,
Rumpelstiltshin, Tom Thumb and many more. These stories are a
delight to read and will rekindle up many childhood memories as
they are reread.
This tale of children in peril has timeless appeal, and the
breathtaking illustrations will find a discriminating audience This
stunning edition of the classic fairy tale makes brilliant use of
translucent paper and silhoutte-like illustrations to enliven every
page. "Once upon a time, there lived a poor woodcutter with his
wife and two children, Hansel and Gretel . . ." and so begins the
thrilling story of two children relying on their wits to survive in
a hostile world. Sybille Schenker's evocative and exquisite
illustrations bring a unique beauty and graphic excellence to a
timeless favorite.
Richly hued oil paintings complement a story simply and gracefully told. "Children...love the story for its mystery, and its familiarity. Adults will find that, like most classic fairy tales, this one rewards periodic rethinking." --New York Times Book Review "Zelinsky's smooth retelling and glowing pictures cast the story in a new and beautiful light." -- School Library Journal

More than 200 years ago, two brothers from Kassel, Jacob and
Wilhelm Grimm, published the first volume of their collection of
German folktales. Over time the stories in their collection grew
until finally they numbered 200 fairy tales and ten legends. What
was initially an attempt to preserve German traditions for
posterity is today the most widely read collection of stories after
the Bible. From Snow White to Cinderella and Rapunzel to
Rumpelstiltskin, the Brothers Grimm left behind a canon of fairy
tales that have become classics of children's literature, part of
the UNESCO world heritage, and an indispensable piece of our
history and culture. Hans Christian Andersen's own life seemed to
be out of a fairy tale-Charles Dickens was among his friends and
admirers, and European princes held him in high regard. Through
determination, talent, many a fortunate coincidence, and an
exuberant imagination, he came out of impoverished circumstances to
write himself into world literature. A fairytale kingdom without
Andersen would be very impoverished itself and would have to do
without characters such as the Snow Queen, the Princess and the
Pea, Thumbelina or the Little Match Girl, but also many previously
inanimate items which Andersen brought to life: silver shillings
and darning needles, and especially his Steadfast Tin Soldier. The
Grimms' and Andersen's tales have inspired generations of artists,
and each fairy tale in this volume is colorfully interpreted by a
famous illustrator: legends such as Kay Nielsen (a leading exponent
of the Golden Age of Illustration that ended in the 1920s), the
Arts and Crafts master Walter Crane, Arthur Rackham, and the Swiss
commercial artist Herbert Leupin. Alongside are silhouettes from
historical publications as well as new vignettes that were made
especially for this edition, which dance across the pages in an
intricate shadow play. Introductory essays, on the fairy tales of
the Brothers Grimm as reflected in art and on Andersen as the heart
and soul of the modern fairy tale, complement these flights of
fancy, as do the short summaries on each fairy tale and artists'
biographies. This double-sided book contains the fairy tales of the
Brothers Grimm on one side and Hans Christian Andersen's tales on
the other, each with its own cover. The following fairy tales are
included: The Brothers Grimm: The Frog Prince, The Wolf and the
Seven Little Goats, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, The Brave Little
Tailor, Cinderella, Mother Holle, Little Red Riding Hood, The
Bremen Town Musicians, The Shoemaker and the Elves, Tom Thumb's
Travels, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, The Three
Feathers, The Golden Goose, The Goose Girl, The Twelve Dancing
Princesses, The Star Coins, The Hare and the Hedgehog, Puss 'n
Boots Hans Christian Andersen: The Princess and the Pea, The
Nightingale, The Swineherd, The Emperor's New Clothes, Twelve by
Mail Coach, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Snow Queen, Ole
Shut-Eye, The Ugly Duckling, Little Ida's Flowers, The Shepherdess
and the Chimney Sweep, The Flying Trunk, The Little Match Girl, The

essential classics. ‘The wolf thought to himself, "What a tender
young creature! what a nice plump mouthful – she will be better
to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch
both."’ This collection of much-loved folk tales features such
familiar characters as daring Little Red Riding Hood, crafty
Rumpelstiltskin and the ill-fated infants Hansel and Gretel. They
are as magical and fascinating today as when they were first told,
despite – or because of – the underlying darkness at their
heart. Collected in a single volume by the brothers Jacob and
Wilhelm Grimm, and first published in 1812, these stories are known
and loved by adults and children alike, and have grown to be an
invaluable part of our collective imagination.
